description Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody frequently used as immunotherapy for lung cell carcinoma that has been reported to cause hypothyroidism and myasthenia gravis among other, unwanted side effects. Here, we present an interesting case of a 77-year-old male previously diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma managed with pembrolizumab. Initially, he was admitted after a mechanical fall sustaining a facial laceration and subacute fracture in the nasal bone. However, during the workup, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was found to be elevated, which was attributed to the history of pembrolizumab usage.
